Ep262 Jason Howard Acrisure International: A very Simple Model

This week’s Episode is a burst of energy. Jason Howard is
President of Acrisure International and has the task of looking
after everything in the Acrisure Group that is outside the US,
Reinsurance and Wholesale. This means most of the world is
effectively his oyster. A group as ambitious and fast-moving as
Acrisure needs someone with enormous drive and enthusiasm to
deliver on such a universal role and Jason is the embodiment of
that. In this podcast Jason explains Acrisure’s global end-to-end
insurance strategy in great detail – from a retail broker
anywhere in the world all the way to Lloyd’s Syndicates and the
capital markets. This makes for an incredibly broad and rich
conversation. Naturally we talk about the role of strategic
M&A in building a global network, but we also discuss the
market and how a business like Acrisure can differentiate itself
by joining up the global value chain and making it work more
responsively and more efficiently. We also dissect the less
tangible questions of corporate culture and the industry’s
developing relationship with technology and automated
underwriting in general and AI in particular. The business’s
explosive growth record speaks for itself – as does Jason. I
first met Jason in an underwriter’s queue over thirty years ago –
I can verify that if anything today he has more energy,
enthusiasm and positivity than he did back then as a young man.
It’s infectious. I promise that the next half an hour will pass
by very quickly and in it you will learn exactly what makes
Acrisure International tick and a lot more besides. NOTES: Jason
was last on the show five years ago when he was CEO of Beach
& Associates, before it was rebranded to Acrisure Re. Here’s
